A local shop had an Amiga in the window running Defender of the Crown and the juggling balls animation (which must have sold more Amiga's than CBM ever did) - from memory they were on video only with the Amiga left to show the hand holding the disk (god, that was stupid of shops wasn't it!)

Then a friend said he had a killer new flight sim called Interceptor (I was bragging about how good Ace was on the C64 at the time) and went around to see it. He showed me flying under the golden gate bridge and that was pretty special - very smooth 3D, awesome sound etc. I had to wait a couple of years before I got one and the first game I got was Stunt Car Racer (common here isn't it!)
